Blog hop for FCD Singing about L-O-V-E!!!

Welcome to the February Firecracker Designs by Pamela Blog Hop, where the Design Team is singing all about L-O-V-E-!!! That was not too hard for me, as my 23rd Wedding Anniversary is this Sunday! The Blog Hop officially starts Friday at 8AM, so if you arrive early, the links may not all connect yet.
I have a fun song that we love to sing by Nat King Cole called L-O-V-E :
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you can adore

AAAAwwwwww isn't that sweet??? The sentiment reads, " If I had a rose for every time I thought of you, I'd walk in a garden forever". Stamps are Paper Roses by Firecracker Designs by Pamela.

The background technique by the Technique Junkies- first I used 'Dabbed Shimmers', then 'Cuttlebug Highlights'. (That BG paper started out white......). Roses were colored with reinkers and the aqua brush, then highlighted with SU markers, and 'Whisped Edges' done on the main panel. The smaller leaves and gold embossed on White CS, and water colored, then carefully cut out.

Next, I punched out some flowers using Rich Razzleberry SU CS and Poison Ivy Iridescent paper and I stamped it with German Script from FCD. I put the layers together and used a brad in the center. The Sketch is MoJo Monday.
On to the BLOG HOP! This is a circular Blog hop- keep hopping until you come back to where you started! There is a prize- only Pamela knows where it is.........so, leave a comment on each blog for a chance to WIN! To check and see if you won, check Pamela's blog on Monday.
Next Stop is Tesa's Blog

Love these flowers! Nat King Cole was a good one to choose for your song and inspiration. He had some of the most beautiful love songs and that voice of his was so smooth and rich. The card is so beautiful! I love all the steps you showed us. You ladies on this FCD hop are so talented. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Your flowers are just amazing. I might have to try making them now because I've been seeing so many of them lately. Thank you for sharing how you made them! Also Happy Anniversary to you and your husband!
